@bjlytle7 I agree about seeing a follow up specialist per your doc’s advice, but I wanted to suggest maybe not ruling out Monster drinks if they’d like you to take another look at your diet.
I have been drinking caffeinated coffee every day for maybe 20 years with no problems. A few years ago I started drinking Monster zeros instead ‘cause they taste better. I started having weird problems... felt mentally squirrelly, and I could feel my heart sort of skipping beats sometimes. Anyway, when I read about Monster drinks, I learned these drinks are not just caffeine drinks. They combine different chemicals to enhance the effects of caffeine.
I stopped drinking them and everything returned to normal. Went back to yucky coffee. Haha
Just another dietary place to look.. I know people can be very devoted to energy drinks, and that’s fine, but it’s not for everyone.
Here is an article about how the drinks can alter blood pressure and electrical activity in the heart for some people:
